Honestly, you need to stop making your whole life about TTC. Go out on dates with your husband, watch movies, and keep yourself busy. Stressing won't help you conceive faster, so just live your normal life and let it happen naturally.
For me, the journey was so stressful until I stopped obsessing over ovulation kits. I started spending more time doing things I love, like reading and gardening, which really helped shift my mind. That personal break was the best thing I did for my mental peace.
It's hard to stay positive, but keeping busy with office work actually saved my sanity. I set clear boundaries so I didn't get exhausted, but having a routine kept my mind off the constant testing. Find a hobby or project to focus your energy on.
When I was trying, my thyroid levels were all over the place which made me super anxious and sad. Getting regular follow-ups with my endocrinologist and keeping my levels in check made me feel in control and much happier. Definitely keep your routine doctor visits on track.
Looking back at that phase now that my little one is running around as a toddler, I wish I hadn't cried so much. Your baby will come at the perfect time, trust me. Enjoy this quiet time with your husband because once the baby is here, you will miss the sleep!
I completely feel you, I used to cry every month when my period arrived before I finally conceived. Now that I'm in my second trimester, I look back and realize how much toll it took on me. Did anyone else feel like their marriage was just becoming about "timings" instead of love?
